On April 4th, a man is fighting for his life in hospital after falling from a bridge onto the M6 motorway near Junction 27 at Charnock, Richard. This went down around 9.35 pm on Friday, April 3rd. He got hit by a heavy goods vehicle and a voxel atom right there on the road and emergency crews rushed him straight to the hospital in critical shape. And earlier that same day, the guy had reached out to Lancashire police. Now the force has referred itself to the independent office for police conduct as standard procedure in cases like this. No arrests so far, and the drivers from both vehicles stopped at the scene and are just witnesses. The crash shut down a stretch of the M6 for hours into early Saturday, finally reopening around 6 am after investigators cleared the area. Cops are keeping the family and their thoughts during this tough time, knowing how serious it all is. They're dicking deeper now and putting out a call for anyone with dash cam footage or who saw what happened. If you were driving through there, hit them up with details to help piece it together.

This one's a stark reminder to stay vigilant on those motorway folks. Drive safe and keep eyes open out there.
